When we see through our hearts, we recognize that every single one of us is infused with creativity. Divine Sparks are embedded in everyone and everything. It's up to us to be courageous, to look and listen deeply, to find the sparks, gather and release them back into the universe, transformed into something new. Join me as we wake up to the sacred-ordinary blessings waiting to greet us each and every day.

I Heart Macro 111

inward bound journey

destination spacious heart

a pause for balance

I
am traveling physically as well, first visiting with family and then off to a
retreat for Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Teachers where I will learn from/with
my beloved teachers and colleagues.

I Heart Macro will also pause for two weeks after
this post and resume again on August 2.

I
may not be able to comment on your links while I'm away, the same thing
happened last week, I have been occupied with many things in my off-line
life, hence the need to journey inward and pause for balance. I hope too
that this will be a good thing for my nervous system/body, as I continue to
heal from what seems to be an "un-official" MS exacerbation. So, even
when I don't stop by to tell you, I read and appreciate all of your kind
comments (and emails) as well as the beautiful photos some have shared
here through the linky tool.

I want to thank everyone who has made a donation to Alicia and Chris’s Go Fund Me site. Your compassion and generosity are truly helping this young, loving family at this extremely difficult period in their lives.

That's a good decision, dear Laura! We all need more balance in our lives and only we by ourself can bring us back to the middle!I'm looking forward to see your beautiful pictures and read your wonderful words here again, when you come back :)Enjoy an enchanting and peaceful time, full of love, light and healing energy!!!My prayers are with Alicia and Chris!!!Lots of love,Katrin, who very much loves your droplet pictures :)

MS Awareness, my friend Cathy Aten

...the Holy One makes himself known to everyone according to the insight of his heart and his capacity to attach himself to the spirit of divine wisdom.

~Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

I want to ask you, as clearly as I can, to bear with patience all that is unresolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were rooms yet to enter or books written in a foreign language. Don't dig for answers that can't be given you yet: you live them now. For everything must be lived. Live the questions now, perhaps then, someday, you will gradually, without noticing, live into the answer. ~Rainer Maria Rilke

Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning and purpose to our lives. ~ Brené Brown

Just to be is a blessing.

Just to live is holy.

~ Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

"Holiness isn't something ephemeral or amorphous that exists out there in the ether or the firmament. Holiness is what occurs in the moment of alchemy when any of us chooses to be fully present to another." ~ Leaf Seligman, Opening the Window

It isn't the things that happen to us in our lives that cause us to suffer, it's how we relate to the things that happen to us that causes us to suffer.

Remnants

Before the eMeS, my now constant companion begged me to stay close to home, I taught art, yoga and meditation to Jewish teens in the Greater Boston area. The collage series in the slide show above was created using forgotten paper scraps that slipped between the cracks of the tables onto the floor, from an Art as a Sacred Practice class I taught to High School students several years ago. My intention was to find the intrinsic value in each remnant. Often the beauty of an individual person goes unrecognized or unappreciated until it is revealed in the context of a relationship; the same is true of colors, shapes and textures. Click on the images to take a closer look. They are tiny works, some no bigger than 1.5” x 1.5”
